I think that if SQLite would suddenly have to add a bunch of new features, the discussion about rewriting it would be very relevant.

I think we like to fool ourselves that decisions like these are based on performance considerations or maintainability or whatever, but in reality they would be based on time to market and skill availability in the areas where the team is being built.

At the end of the day, SQLite is not being rewritten because the cost of doing so is not justifiable

These guys are, after all, running a business. If they thought the best thing for their business was a rewrite, they'd do it.
